Full Summary: In Book 5 of The Law of Success, Napoleon Hill brings the reader into the practical heart of his philosophy by examining two closely linked laws that separate temporary achievement from enduring success: Self-Control and The Habit of Doing More Than Paid For.

The first lesson, Self-Control, is presented as the balance wheel of character. Hill argues that enthusiasm without control is destructive, while controlled thought becomes power. Through vivid anecdotes—from sales counters to courtrooms—he demonstrates that the inability to govern emotions leads to humiliation, lost opportunity, and failure. True self-control, Hill explains, is not suppression but thought-control: the conscious selection of the ideas that dominate the mind. By mastering reactions to criticism, anger, fear, and temptation, individuals gain poise, influence, and authority over themselves—and therefore over circumstances. Hill emphasizes that all leaders, salespeople, and negotiators succeed by remaining calm, patient, and deliberate, even under pressure.

The second lesson, The Habit of Doing More Than Paid For, introduces the Law of Increasing Returns, one of Hill’s most powerful and practical teachings. He explains that nature itself rewards extra effort with compound results, just as a seed yields more than it contains. By consistently rendering more service and better service than required, individuals build skill, reputation, goodwill, and opportunity. Hill illustrates this law through examples from business, personal history, and figures such as Henry Ford and Marshall Field, showing how voluntary service attracts promotion, loyalty, and financial reward. Crucially, Hill stresses that this habit must be practiced without expectation of immediate pay; its true power lies in long-term accumulation.

Together, these two lessons form a moral and psychological turning point in the Law of Success. Self-control governs the inner world; extra service transforms the outer one. Hill concludes that no one is ever cheated by life—only by themselves—and that those who discipline their thoughts and give freely of their best effort inevitably find success flowing back to them in multiplied form.
